This device is intended only for OEM Integrators. The OEM integrator should be aware of the following important considerations. Labeling of the End Product The label on the end product incorporating the PremierWave 2050 gateway must clearly state that it contains an FCC-approved RF gateway. Canada and Japan also require a similar statement.
FCC authorization will be required, then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product (including the transmitter). Changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by Lantronix will void the user's authority to operate this device. Note:...

1: Introduction About the Integration Guide This user guide provides the information needed to integrate the Lantronix® PremierWave® 2050 family of products into customer-printed circuit boards. This manual is intended for engineers responsible for integrating the PremierWave 2050 802.11ac Embedded Wi-Fi® IoT Gateway into their product.
PremierWave 2050 evaluation kit, 802.11ac embedded Wi-Fi IoT gateway, chip PremierWave 2050 Features The PremierWave 2050 gateway is built around a 400 Mhz ARM9 processor with 32 MB of DDR2 DRAM and 128 MB of embedded flash memory. Network connections are provided by a dual band 802.11 ac/b/g/n WLAN radio and 10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC and PHY.
Interface for connection to an external JTAG software debugger. Dedicated two wire serial port for debug The PremierWave 2050 gateway requires +5V DC power and is designed to operate in an extended temperature range.

2: Functional Description Signal Descriptions The PremierWave 2050 gateway has a serial interface compatible with data rates up to 921,600 bps. All of the logic IO pins are 3.3V tolerant. The serial signals usually connect to an internal device, such as a UART. For applications requiring an external cable running with RS- 232 or RS422/485 voltage levels, the PremierWave 2050 must interface to a serial transceiver chip.

These pads also provide thermal relief for the gateway. It is recommended that multiple vias for each pad be used to connect the ground pads to the ground plane. Figure 2-3 PremierWave 2050 Pin Locations Note: Pins 109 to 124 are the large pads under the the PW2050 gateway. Pins 109 to 124 should be connected to GND.
The Ethertronics part numbers listed above come with a 50 mm U.FL cable attached to the PCB strip antenna. The 50 mm cable length is the minimum allowed cable length for use with the PremierWave 2050 gateway. For similar PCB strip antennas with longer cables consult with Ethertronics (www.ethertronics.com).
Figure 2-6 Reverse-SMA to U.FL (short) (Lantronix Part Number 500-182-R-ACC) Antenna Placement When designing the PremierWave 2050 gateway to a mating board, it is important to consider the final installation of the gateway and its location with respect to connecting access points.
Serial Interface The PremierWave 2050 gateways has two external serial interfaces. The signal levels on the serial interface are 3.3V tolerant. The serial interfaces require an external transceiver in order to connect to external RS232, RS485, or RS422 networks. The signals of the Serial Ports may be connected as shown in the reference schematic below.
Exar, part number SP336. This transceiver is a multiprotocol RS232, RS485, RS422 transceiver. Single protocol transceivers may be used as required. The PremierWave 2050 interface may also be directly connected to the UART interface of an external CPU.

RS485 2-wire Note: The IO pins for PremierWave 2050 gateway are set to floating input on power up until configured by unit firmware. An external 100K ohm pull-up may be required on the serial transmit signal to prevent downstream UART devices from detecting false characters on initial power up.
2: Functional Description USB Device Port The PremierWave 2050 gateway has one USB 2.0 device port interface for connection to an upstream USB device. The port consists of a differential pair, signals DDP and DDM. These signals should be routed as a 90 ohm differential pair on a signal layer next to the signal ground plane.
The schematic below shows how to connect 5V to a USB host connector using an ST, STMPS2151 power distribution switch. The USB host port 5V power is not provided by the PremierWave 2050 gateway. If the USB host ports are unused their pins may be left disconnected.
APIs to keys/credentials stored within the Secure Element. LEDs The PremierWave 2050 gateway contains several external signals that are intended to drive external status LEDs. The LEDs are listed below. The signals may be connected as shown in the reference schematic figure below.
2: Functional Description General Purpose I/O Pins PremierWave 2050 gateway contains 13 pins which may be used as configurable inputs or outputs. Listed below are the configurable I/O pins. These pins are 3.3V tolerant. Table 2-13 Ethernet Interface PremierWave 2050 Serial Port Signals...
